If The Claw (at DW) is now one of your favourites then add it in.

Why did they call it the Claw anyway, it's so unoriginal. It hardly looks like a Claw, whereas the good Claw, the Claw Claw, Durkin Claw, travelling Claw...whatever actually looks like a Claw.

Spinout sounds crap as well. The formula ones in the background look kinda cheap if you ask me. Our Claw is just fien the way it is.

1. The claw 2. The Giant Drop 3. The Corkscrew 4. The Cyclone 5. Wipeout 6. The Tower of Terror 7. Tiger Island 8. Australian Wildlife 9. The Reef Diver 10. Gravitron

Zipper is a really old type of ride that has been at shows and theme parks for many years. My dad is always telling me about when he rode it at Luna Park and the Easter Show in his childhood

1. Demon 2. ToT 3. GD 4. Wipe out 5. Scooby Doo 6.Cyclone 7. Crazy Coaster 8. Claw 9. Lethal Weapon 10. Cyclone

Can you start to say (like myself and Clairey) if "The Claw" is either the travelling (Durkin, KMG, show, whatever) Claw or the Dreamworld (Itamin, big, whatever) Claw. It makes life easier and lets me know if theres more Travelling Claw fans out there.

Or you just say - KMG SPINOUT, since that is the model name, it makes it a whole lot easier

I also Love Zipper, to watch its fantasitc, will also be havng my first ride in a few weeks down at rye :D Go Wittingslow, fastest Zipper in oz :D

Or you can even go to their official website and look at the KMG Moveit/Moveit 24 ;) Or you can simply call it by what it is known as to most people in this country, the travelling Claw. And have you ridden the Zipper yet?

Good for you! Hope you enjoy the ride :) I can't wait until I can have a ride on a Zipper, however I have to wait until the Ekka in August grr! Does anyone know of any travelling Zippers that are going to be around Brisbane before August?

Ahh, no not that the moment, but I can find out for you, I think Watkins may be in qld with their zipper before august. Ill tell ya how it goes clairey when I have a ride :D can't wait!

There should be one around about june/july next year I think. I'll keep you posted, but a town in the northern part of Brisbane called Samford holds an exhibition with several decent rides each year. Plus they always have a zipper. And then the school usually has a fete which they usually order in some sort of zipper or something similar.

Rainbow, that family's gonna put Street Fighter in their backyard eh? lol. Seriously, is it going to travel to Sydney??!! America has heaps of afterburners traveling around the place. I rode the Zipper at the bathurst show. I can't say it was a fun ride (I had just been on the Hangover before that- that was fun), but it sure was an adrenaline rush; sort of like a fight for survival, in those violently flipping cages (ours wouldn't stop flipping at the end). I tried to imagine it with chaos cars instead of the paded lap-bar cages, and I think it wouldn't really be that eventful if you didn't have to worry about holding on for your life; you only really flip over when the cars go around the u-turn (and boy do you flip!!)

My Top Ten Australian Rides would have to be 10. Rocky Hollow 9. Thunder River Rapids 8. Mammoth Falls 7. Terror Canyons 6. Vortex (Gravitron Dreamworld 5. Lethal Weapon 4. Giant Drop 3. Thunderbolt 2. Tower Of Terror 1. Cyclone

Yeah Mark, the Hard Rock, will be in Sydney, if all is well, I hear there could be some technical problems with it, but as far as I know, it will debut in Sydney in March
